Additional Information Precautions On safety Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. On power sources • Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
There is no sound from a specific component. • Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component. • Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. • Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver. There is no sound from one of the front speakers. Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones (page 21).
Troubleshooting (continued) The FM reception is poor. Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below.
